Key principles include adaptability, a holistic approach, community-based approach, human rights, environmental justice and gender equality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Three main areas of activity:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leadership, coordination and advocacy:<\/strong> Integrate health into national and global climate programs. WHO should play a leading role in implementing the plan. Member States should support implementation and coordination with WHO.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evidence and monitoring:<\/strong> Create a robust evidence base that is directly linked to policy, implementation and monitoring. Support research and development for the detection, prevention and treatment of climate-sensitive diseases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Country-level action and capacity building:<\/strong> Support climate change adaptation efforts to address health risks and support mitigation efforts that maximize health benefits. Ensure that health systems and health facilities are climate resilient, low-carbon and environmentally sustainable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitoring and evaluation:<\/strong> Coordination and monitoring of the plan will take place internally within the three levels of WHO. Regular meetings with leading international agencies are to ensure strategic alignment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Spring<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Glossary of Key Terms<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adaptation:<\/strong> Adaptation to existing or expected effects of climate change. In the context of health, this means implementing measures to minimize the negative impacts of climate change on population health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mitigation:<\/strong> Reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. In the context of health, this may include reducing the carbon footprint of healthcare facilities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Global Action Plan:<\/strong> In this context, it is the WHO plan (2025-2028) to address the impacts of climate change on health, which defines goals, objectives and proposed actions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change):<\/strong> The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, an international treaty that sets a framework for international cooperation to address climate change.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paris Agreement:<\/strong> An international agreement under the UNFCCC that aims to limit global warming to well below 2\u00b0C, ideally 1.5\u00b0C, compared to pre-industrial levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs):<\/strong> Nationally Determined Contributions, in which each country defines its goals and plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Health in All Policies:<\/strong> An approach that emphasizes that health is affected by policies across all sectors and requires coordination and collaboration between different government agencies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One Health:<\/strong> A concept that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health. In the context of climate change, this means a coordinated approach to addressing the impact of climate change on all three.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planetary Health:<\/strong> A concept that focuses on the connection between human health and the health of the planet, emphasizing that human health depends on the health of ecosystems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>REACH Agenda (Research for Action on Climate Change and Health):<\/strong> WHO research agenda aimed at linking evidence to implementation measures in the field of climate change and health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Net Zero:<\/strong> The state where greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by their removal from the atmosphere, achieving zero net contribution to global warming.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Climate-resilient health systems:<\/strong> Health systems that are able to anticipate, absorb, adapt and transform the negative impacts of climate change so that they are able to function effectively even in changing climate conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The draft Global Action Plan on Climate Change and Health (2025-2028) aims to address the global health crisis caused by climate change.
